It's not hard to lose running fitness

Ok, so as you may know I have struggled with motivating myself to run this summer. I had some good momentum up until it got really hot outside, hmmmm wonder if the two are connected? Between June and September I think I ran all of 5 times, not counting a 1 or 2 miler in the gym about once a week. I want to fall back in love with it and make running a regular thing again, and aso shed some extra pounds that have crept back on.

And I gotta say, it does not take long to lose running fitness. I always go out there after some time off like "Ehhh I'll be fine!" But to give it some perspective, the last 2-3 weeks my pace has averaged in the 10-10:30 minute mile, on 3 mile runs, and that's with some effort. I ran a hilly half marathon in May with an average pace of 10:20. Yikes. I know I can eventually get back down to the 9's, it's just all about training consistently. I'll also be working some intervals in there about once a week.

Back to working out 6 days a week! My house is gonna look like this
